Christmas hog roast in Coneyhurst, carved to order
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Coneyhurst, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Typical bookings include festive open evenings and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, serving apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
In winter near Coneyhurst, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Coneyhurst in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.

A hog roast or other catering?

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A lit route to the food
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Label alternatives clearly
- Add dietary questions to the invite
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
